strong outdoor odors from entering the room through the air conditioner. The lever is located on
the lower right side of the air flow blades.
Sliding the ventilation lever to the right lets outdoor air
enter the room, and sliding the lever to the left re-circulates
existing air within the room.

cleaning and maintaining your
air conditioner
Keeping your air conditioner clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs, and lengthens
its life.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
1. Wipe the surface of the appliance with a slightly wet or
dry cloth when needed.

• If lift it forward when pull right,the air filter out will be easier.
2. Vacuum the air filter completely.
3. Push the air filter back into place.
Air filter
• For best conditions, repeat every two weeks.
• If the air filter dries in a confined (or humid) area, odors may generate. If this occurs,
re-clean and dry in a well-ventilated area.
MAINTAINING THE AIR CONDITIONER
If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time, dry it thoroughly and disconnect from the wall.
There may be internal damage if moisture is left in its components.
1. Before storing the appliance, operate the air conditioner in Fan mode for three to four hours to
dry the air conditioner completely.
2. Upon removing from storage, dry the inner components of the air conditioner again by
running in Fan mode for three to four hours. This helps remove odors which may have
generated from dampness.
